This NLCS defies reason. Defies belief. Showcases the real fun of baseball.
Chris Taylor, the hero of the Dodgers’ wild-card win, transformed the team from playoff zombies to NLCS-winning hopefuls with his three-home run game.This from a lineup that lacked Turner, who is eight for 19 with two home runs against Fried during his career, and, who is five for 11 with two home runs against Santa Monica native Fried.
But no one could expect the swings in mood and results to be so wild and illogical as they were Thursday. “A lot of it is, it’s baseball,” Pollock said, and if you think about it, that’s profound.Baseball’s appeal lies in its unpredictability, in sudden reversals of slumps or hot streaks, in unexpected big hits and the kinds of determined pitching performances the Dodgers’ relievers strung together Thursday under extreme duress.
“AJ hitting the homer right there kind of gave us some life,” Roberts said, “and then CT with that two-run homer, and then you follow it up with two more homers from CT, and then AJ had a huge night with the three-run homer [in the fifth inning]. It’s like you can’t always play for slug [home runs], but those guys stepped up big and allowed us to win a baseball game.
Taking it one day at a day guaranteed them at least one more game, maybe two, and that’s all they could ask for.
